Burial + Blackdown Vinyl Records
Following the announcement of Burial's Chemz/Dolphinz single and preceding its eventual release, an unannounced split EP with Blackdown popped up on the latter's Keysound Recordings. The Blackdown productions are both tightly wound club tracks with shimmering Detroit techno synths, kinetic beat sequences, and an abundance of spiritual energy. They're both excellent, but they're inevitably overshadowed by Burial's twin ten-minute epics.
